Bahamas (Dowgiallo 2004), Belgium (Marquet 1996), Cape Verde (Fernandes & Rolán 1988; Fernandes & Rolán 1991; van der Linden 1998; Rolán 2005), Croatia (Romani et al. 2018), Cuba (Rosenberg et al. 2009), France (Locard 1886; Bouchet 1985), Greece (Cosenza & Fasulo 1997), Gulf of Mexico (Rosenberg et al. 2009), Hungary (Strausz, 1954; Strausz 1966; Landau et al. 2006), Israel (Mediterranean) (Albano et al. 2020), Italy (Delle Chiaje 1828; Monterosato 1875; Harmer 1918; Richter & Thorson 1975; Landau et al. 2006; Vazzana 2010; Albano & Sabelli 2012), Lebanon (Crocetta et al. 2020), Malta (Cachia et al. 1996), Morocco (van der Linden 1998; Ardovini & Cossignani 2004), Poland (Friedberg 1914; Baluk 1975; Landau et al. 2006), Portugal (Landau et al. 2006), Portugal, Madeira (van der Linden 1998; Segers et al. 2009), Romania (Landau et al. 2006), Senegal (Ardovini & Cossignani 2004), Spain (Harmer 1918; Templado 1986; Giribet & Peñas 1997; van der Linden 1998; Taruella Ruestes 2002; Landau et al. 2006; Peñas et al. 2006; Tarruella Ruestes & Soriano 2006; Oliver Baldoví 2007; Gofas et al. 2011), Spain, Canary Islands (Fernandes & Rolán 1991; van der Linden 1998), Tunesia (Bouchet 1985), Turkey (Demir 2003), United Kingdom (Jeffreys 1885; Harmer 1918; Bouchet 1985), United States, North Carolina (Rosenberg et al. 2009).

Geological age. Holocene (Landau et al. 2006), Pleistocene (Harmer 1918; Landau et al. 2006; Landau et al. 2018), Pliocene (Landau et al. 2006; Landau et al. 2018), Miocene (Friedberg 1914; Baluk 1975; Landau et al. 2006; Landau et al. 2018).

Remarks. Rosenberg et al. (2009) recorded this species also for Cuba, Gulf of Mexico and North Carolina, and Dowgiallo (2004) recorded this species for the Bahamas; however, these identifications should be verified because they could be misidentifications of Cerithiopsis metaxae var. taeniolata Dall, 1889 . Murex metaxa was considered a nomen dubium by Marshall (1977) because of the lack of type material, but Bouchet (1985) selected a neotype from Calvi, Corsica. Monterosato realized himself shortly afterwards having introduced Cerithium benoitianum Monterosato, 1869 that it was a junior synonym of Murex metaxa Delle Chiaje, 1828 . Cerithium subcylindricum Brusina, 1865, Metaxia rugulosa var. exilissima Monterosato, 1884 and Cerithiopsis excavata Locard, 1897 are considered junior synonyms of Murex metaxa Delle Chiaje, 1828 (Bouchet 1985) .
